Custom cab fabrication · NYC
Complete custom elevator cabs, manufactured in Brooklyn
CNS designs, manufactures and installs complete custom elevator cabs for new construction and full replacements across New York City. We coordinate every element as one package, built to NYC DOB and elevator code requirements.
One package
What's in a complete cab package
A CNS cab is designed and built as one system — every surface, light and rail coordinated in our shop before it reaches the hoistway.
- Wall panels & architectural millwork
- Architectural metalwork — bronze, brass, stainless, blackened steel
- Ceilings & LED lighting
- Handrails
- Reveals & trim
- Cab flooring — stone, porcelain, resilient
- Replacement cab shells sized for finished weight
Two project paths
New construction vs. full replacement
New construction
We work from the architect's drawings and the elevator contractor's cab dimensions, deliver shop drawings and finish samples for approval, then fabricate and install to the construction schedule.
Full replacement
For existing buildings where the shell is corroded or the design calls for a different weight class, we survey the existing car, estimate weight and balance, build a new shell and interior, and hand numbers to the elevator company and engineer for sign-off before fabrication.
Project teams
Who we build with
Elevator contractors
We fabricate to your cab dimensions and schedule. You handle the machine room, controller, fixtures wiring, and DOB mechanical filings.
Architects & designers
Bring your palette. We detail panel layouts, reveals and inlays, and produce shop drawings and samples for approval.
Developers & building owners
One shop for design, millwork, metal and install. Every CNS cab carries a lifetime warranty.
How it works
How a fabrication project runs
01
Drawings & dimensions
We start from the architect's drawings and the elevator contractor's cab dimensions, or survey the existing car on a replacement project.
02
Shop drawings & samples approved
Panel layouts, reveals, inlays and finishes are documented and sampled. Nothing is fabricated until the drawings are signed off.
03
Fabrication & pre-finishing in our Brooklyn shop
Panels, ceilings, trim and metalwork are built and pre-finished in Brooklyn — so site time is installation, not construction.
04
Install coordinated with the elevator contractor
We install to the construction schedule, or alongside the elevator company's shutdown on an existing building.
